"Mandan Plains" makes no sense - the Mandan tribe were not a Plains group but lived in semi-permanent villages along the upper Missouri river. They are classed as "marginally Plains" because they were not primarily nomadic buffalo hunters.

The Mandan women grew the usual crops of maize (Indian corn), beans and squash, along with sunflowers for their nutritious seeds. Men would hunt deer and buffalo occasionally out on the Plains, or visited other tribes to exchange their own produce for hides and meat.

While Crazy Horse's primary affiliations were with the Lakota, the broader relationships among Plains tribes included connections with the Mandan.
